Yall the day finally arrived!
What a beautiful site right! So much excitement (yay drywall!) Mixed with a bit of dread (ugh I stink royally at mudding!). But no pain, no gain right? And that pain would be quick to follow.
The next day we set to work. Moving all of this:
So we could get to this:
And then finally this:
(Yes we work barefoot or in flip flops around here.)
It took a lot of these trips
and a bit of this:
Because its not difficult enough, lets throw in some unsupervised chaos downstairs with some moments of good helpers taking pictures and doing this:
To get to this:
Thankfully Mr. showed up and helped put up a few sheets on the other side – namely above the stairs. Whew! I was scared with that one!
Only 2 sheets left on the opposite wall, the high ceiling pitch and the end walls and we will be ready for mudding! Hopefully to be completed tomorrow. Sure hope I can still move Saturday! Lord be with us.

YAY! What an exciting step! I love how drywall makes it look like a “real” room 🙂

Your entire process reminds me of what we did many years ago, so much so that I can scarcely look at the photographs because it takes me back to living with all the mess and chaos of kids/bare insulation/wires everywhere/ hauling in water to heat on woodstoves and so on and so forth. Thankfully it is now pretty much all behind us. It was an interesting process and I didn’t mind it so much at the time but now . . .
NEVER AGAIN!!
